Super Soldier

Han Huabin asked, “What’s your plan then?”

Xiao Bing couldn’t see him but could hear his voice. However, he didn’t expect to find out where he was. He knew that the matrix would be meaningless if the people who manipulated it could be found easily.

The highest priority now was to find ways to break out of this matrix, but actually Xiao Bing knew nothing about it. He had been trapped by another matrix manipulated by the locals when he carried out a task in Europe before, but he was very powerful at that time and the matrix was not complicated enough, so he was able to break out easily. But this one…

Xiao Bing shook his head, and then lay on the ground with his eyes closed. Han Huabin was surprised by what he was doing and asked, “What are you doing?”

“I can’t break out,” Xiao Bing answered. “So why should I make a futile effort?”

“Then what are you going to do?”

“Just have a rest.”

“Have a rest?”

“Better to lie down than sit down, better dumplings than all other food.”

Right now, Han Huabin was still standing at the door of his cottage. Everything around him was the same like before, no forests at all and only Xiao Bing lying on the ground.

He planned to kill Xiao Bing directly, but he hesitated instead because Xiao Bing acted calm, like he had nothing to fear.

Generally, other people who encountered the same situation as Xiao Bing’s might be in a panic and be agitated like an ant on a hot pan.

Some others might try to keep breaking the matrix violently with their strength.

Also some might desperately beg for mercy.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Bing did nothing but sleep.

Although he was Lord Long’s teacher, Han Huabin was not as reckless as his student. He tried his best to overcome the impulse to kill Xiao Bing at the time when he was sleeping. His eyes were sullen and a sense of killing flashed. He didn’t know if there would be someone coming here to save Xiao Bing, so he had to kill him as soon as possible.

He took a stone and ejected it out with his hands. The stone hit another stone on the ground nearby. Then it was a chain effect once more. Xiao Bing, having a rest on the ground, heard the sounds of hits and immediately stood up. He found no stone around him but a feeling of shaking. When he found himself floating in the sea, he was startled even though he had a tough mentality.

At this moment, Xiao Bing was floating on a plank in the center of the sea. He could even feel the cold breeze from the sea surface and could see twilight far above in the sky.

He took a deep breath, beginning to doubt whether it was true or it was just a matrix.

He barely steadied himself. Although having known that all the scenes before him were likely to be illusory, he still needed to be very careful. Maybe only one step wrong would lead him to fall into the sea.

Looking around him, he couldn’t see any banks at all. So he took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and laughed loudly. “Mr. Han, your matrix is really excellent and marvelous. I am sincerely convinced by you.”

Yet nobody answered him. Xiao Bing found that his voice disappeared into the vast sea. Besides, there were some waves rising with his actions. All of this made him feel that he was really in the sea. Now he couldn’t even figure out whether it was real or illusory.

He kept silent for a while, and sat down with his knees crossed on the plank. As time went by, Xiao Bing felt dry and thirsty under the burning sun. Unconsciously, he cupped some seawater with his hands, but drank only a little, then spat it out immediately. “F*ck, it is terribly salty. Isn’t it real?”

Martial arts masters, be they talented or cultivated, would all feel helpless in the sea—so powerful as a human but looking tiny and weak compared with nature.

It was the same for Xiao Bing, who had fought with countless rivals after starting his career. But the feeling of helplessness at this time was worse than the moment he, at the Transforming Strength stage, fought with Lord Long.

All of these looked so real that he couldn’t help being concerned about dying in the sea.

Zhang Bangzi, a disciple of a famous martial club in Hua Xia before, was talented. Later, he killed his teacher because of some wrangles. After that, he escaped there and met with Lord Long. When Lord Long was promoted to the head of the Long family, Zhang Bangzi began to do business for Lord Long, but he seldom executed tasks generally. Like several other masters, he was kept as a hidden killer and wouldn’t expose himself easily.

Lord Long had called for them to assemble immediately for today’s emergency situation. After today, their days of bullying and luxury would be gone.

While he just put on his undershorts after f**king a girl, the door of his room was broken through violently. The girl lying on the bed was frightened into screaming.

He was going to leave to meet Lord Long, and didn’t expect that someone would come for him at this moment, so he swore quietly, “You got the f*cking right time.”

He looked at the door and clearly saw a stupid guy nearly 23 years old there. With a stupefied face, he asked, “What are you doing?”

“I am Dumbass.”

“A dumbass?” Zhang Bangzi sneered.

Dumbass asked him, “Are you Zhang Bangzi?”

“So what?”

“My Brother Bing asked me to twist off your head, can you please put your head here?”

“Brother Bing?” Zhang Bangzi narrowed his eyes and asked, “Xiao Bing?”

“Yes, my Brother Bing is Xiao Bing.”

“Well.”

“Well?”

“It couldn’t be better. So come here to get my head.”

Finishing these words, Zhang Bangzi really stretched his head toward him and said, “Is it right that Xiao Bing asked you to twist off my head?”

Dumbass scratched his hair and laughed foolishly. “I thought that there would be a fight, but… You are a good man, I will hold a memorial ceremony for you afterwards.”

After saying these words, he came close to get Zhang Bangzi’s head, while Zhang Bangzi punched Dumbass in the chest so strongly that he directly fell out into the yard.

Zhang Bangzi laughed grimly. “I have heard of Xiao Bing from Lord Long, but never expected that his men are useless, totally an idiot.”

Even though his punch just now wasn’t strong enough to kill Dumbass, it would hurt him terribly.

But when he jumped out into the yard, seeing that Dumbass was standing there unharmed, he was stupefied and looked him up and down carefully.

Kneading his chest, Zhang Bangzi was so hurt that he flew into a rage. “You lied to me. I am not stupid though. Brother Bing was right that you are a fully bad man. Now I will kill you!”

He rushed at Zhang Bangzi, punching at him with powerful fists. Likewise, Zhang Bangzi promptly punched back. When their fists bumped against each other, the latter was shocked into taking two steps back as the cement floor under his feet broke up. The former was worse, unsteadily taking several steps back.

“You are not bad. I guess you have reached the early stage of Transforming Strength, but maybe it is still an underestimate as you are unharmed after taking my punch. Are you as strong as gold?”

Actually, Dumbass became excited about this. He activated his fists and grinned. “Finally I’ve got a chance to fight with a qualified rival. That’s refreshing.”

Zhang Bangzi nodded. “Sure enough, you have the best talent for cultivating the martial arts of toughness. Such a talented master as you is quite lucky to be created only once in the long course of one hundred years. But what a pity that you are going to be killed by me today.”

Then he gave out a roar explosively, with his muscles bursting all at once. It was almost in a flash that he moved close to Dumbass and was about to thrust his fingers into the eyes of Dumbass.

While raising his arm to ward off the thrusting, Dumbass used another hand to punch at his rival’s chest. Even if just at the early stage of Transforming Strength, he could fight persistently with Zhang Bangzi, who was at the middle stage of Transforming Strength.

With a rumbling sound, they hit each other, blowing up a huge cloud of dust. Zhang Bangzi was so shocked because obviously he was in a higher stage than Dumbass, which meant that he had more strength and was quicker than the latter, but he didn’t beat him. Besides, the latter had no intention of evading at all, fighting with him directly and toughly. Dumbass had horrible strength and the best talents, so if Zhang Bangzi were to be hit, he was not sure if he could stay alive. Therefore, he was a little bit scared.

They fought explosively and loudly from the yard to the outside. Dumbass, as if insane and bewitched, had no intention of ceasing at all.

This fight should have been quick originally, as they were in different stages, but now it turned into a persistent one.

All of a sudden with an explosive sound burst, Zhang Bangzi squatted down to the ground on one knee, with blood spitting out from his mouth. Dumbass was breathing heavily, with his hair messy, clothes torn apart, and body scarred.

“How… how is it possible?”

Zhang Bangzi got so injured in many parts that it was difficult for him to move a little. Dumbass hurt so much as well, but still had energy to fight. Unexpectedly, he beat a master who was in a higher stage in this fight.

All of a sudden, Dumbass rushed at Zhang Bangzi, and grabbed his head in his hand. With a roar, he ripped off his head, leaving blood spraying everywhere. Zhang Bangzi never expected that he would be killed by a man under Xiao Bing someday.

Throwing the head causally to the ground, Dumbass sat down then. He wiped away the sweat from his face and sneered with heavy breath. “Although I was in a lower stage than you, Gao Fei had taught me many skills of killing, so that I’d know to hit the weakest part of a body. Now all of those parts of your body have been hit by me, and would be broken up as long as you overused your strength, and you would absolutely be a dead man.”

Now Dumbass could kill the people who were in higher stages than him with his exceptional talents and powerful skills learned from both Gao Fei and Xiao Bing. He could challenge all the masters under the top stage of Transforming Strength.
